USE A COACH!

Career Management today is built around the premise that to contribute one must constantly hone existing skills, develop new skills, have new experiences and learn new ways of looking at things. .

WHY A COACH?
Any executive who wants to improve his or her performance would benefit from an effective coaching relationship. A coach can be:

• A best practices guide to identifying new skills to learn.
• A teacher of new skills.
• A role model for new skills.
• A leader for reinforcing the effectiveness of new skills

WHAT MAKES IT AN EFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIP?
Some ideas for effective coaching relationships:

• Mutual respect, trust and confidentiality are essential to the process.
• Make sure the chemistry is there.
• Meet regularly, have an agenda and agree on learning goals.

HOW TO DECIDE:

In addition to chemistry, choose a career coach who is well rounded, has depth of experience and is committed to your success.

MEANINGFUL DISCOVERY IS A PROCESS NOT AN EVENT. IT TAKES TIME, EFFORT, ENERGY AND SUPPORT.
